There are rumours going round about a relic which may have recently been uncovered... a divine shroud of his Noodliness which was taken after a lame attempt to end His life via crucifixion.

The rumor is that there's a cloth relic on which His Noodly appendages can be seen hanging from a cross, with stakes driven through His meatballs, eyestalks hanging down in despair at the ignorance of those who would try to end the life of an immortal in such a silly manner.

The rumor is that a museum is on the way which will house the Noodley Shroud of Tourism, and that Shroud memorabilia will soon be made available to the Faithful along with Prayer Meatballs and other such paraphenalia.... VISA and Mastercard accepted.

I cannot say whether or not the rumors are true. Only time will tell...

Peace

And they'll fuck it up

It appears the rumours are true. An ancient shroud has indeed been discovered in the Middle East. It appears to have burned into its thread a likeness of his Noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We believe it to be a genuine divine relic.

The context in which it was found - along with the skeletal remains of a midget, a pirate's chest and some trees - lend credence to its authenticity.

Carbon-14 dating results have been inconclusive. The fraudulent machine claims that the cloth is only some 400 years old, dated roughly to the time of Leonardo DaVinci. But there is clearly a reason for this...

FSM must have divinely intervened during the Carbon dating in order to test our faith. And as any true Pastafarian knows, when reality appears to conflict with our beliefs, the Pastal Infallibility rule dictates that reality must be wrong.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly present to you the Noodley Shroud of Tourism... may you be blessed by his Noodley Appendage... RAMEN Bruddas!!!
